LETTER FROM The. NEW YORK COL
LEGE OF MUSIC.

Messrs. Chickering oe SonS-GENTLEMEN APP
preciating the necessity of cultivating the cor
rect tonal sense, as well as the technique of our
pupils, l have examined the various firstclass
pianos submitted to my inspection, and am
thoroughly convinced that in the Chickering
Piano find in the highest degree all the quail
ties which / most desire; and in my opinion
your instruments stand unrivalled in evenness
of scale, quality of tone, strength or sorority
and the beautiful singing quality for which the
Chickering Pauos have always been noted, and
the greatest perfection of piano mechanism;
and in selecting them for exclusive use in the
New York College of Music have given them
my unqualified Endorsement,
The Grand Pianos recently issued by you and
made expressly for the low French) pitch are
indeed wonderful instruments, and must com
mand the admiration of the artists and con
noisseurs of this country and Europe
Please accept my sincere congratulations.
Very respectfully yours,
TSignedl ALEX LAMBERT Director,
New York College of Music, 1863 East SEVENTEEN
street Oct TO- 1887.

uE WANTED SOME OF N:

A STORY is told of a Dutchman land
of course, there's not one word of truth
in it) that owned balky horse. One
day when he was in very great hurry
the nag took notion to stop and stay.
The Dutchman was annoyed. There
he was with a wagon-load of freight,
and but q few minutes to spare if he
was going to catch the Fall River boat.
A great crowd of sympathizers gath
cred around and made remarks. At
last the inevitable small boy worked
his way to the front and volunteered
to make the horse move. His proposi-
tion meeting approval, he started off
and soon returned with condiment
and poured it into the animals ear. In
about ten seconds the horse was
speeding up the street, tlippery-tlap,
scattering goods in all directions,
smashing and banging the wagon, and
having things his own way despite the
frantic efforts of shouting policemen
with outspread arms.
"Where you got dot?" inquired the
phlegmatic Dutchman, taking his pipe
from his mouth.
Fright round the corner" replied
the delighted boy.
How much was the cost of dotf'
he next asked.
"Only 10 cents" said the lad.
$50! l wish dot you got me tollar's
worth, and here's the tollar. Put dot
stuff in my ear right away, by chin

him. ."-Ne,c York Times.

THE ORCHARD.
Rciurenntfnn Old Peacn-Tree.


A few years since 1 came to occupy q
place upon whicE was small peach or
chard that bore many evidences OF neglect.
The trees gave no Indication that they had
ever been pruned. The limbs had grown
out, forming long crooked poles, which
were nearly destitute of branches.
Peach-trees OF such character are not
in condition to yield crop. The branches
produce little now wood and hence there is
room for but few blossoms. Even if they
We're capable of producing good crop,
the long limbs would be very apt to break
down from the weight Of the fruit.
AS an experiment determined to prune
these trees back severely, cutting off all of
the main branches q short distance above
the top of the trunk. commenced in the
spring of 1885, cutting back three trees,
and the result proved SO satisfactory that
the following spring extended the expert
ment to all the others.
From the pruned trees many new buds
promptly appeared upon the bare stubs of
branches. and before the summer had
passed almost all of the trees had formed
fine dense tops, making ihem appear liko
young trees. Trees cut back in the spring
of 1885 will bear full crop this season,
but those cut back last spring, with n few
exceptions, are bearing but little. Next
season, however, if the winter is not too
severe, shall look for full crop upon
all. The trees cut back did not suffer so
much from the leaf curl last season as did
the single one left unpruned.- Popu-

THE APIARY.
italian Bees.


When n hive is opened the common bees
incline TO rush out pell- nell, while Ital-
ians cling to the combs and remain quiet.
The utmost gentleness is requisite at all
times in doing anything among bees, and
if this is prachced, there is little to be
dreaded in handling Italians. Occasionally
things will happen calculated TO try the
temper of the most peaceably-inclined
bees, just as the gentlest of human beings
will sometimes be exposed to provocation.
But under ordinary circumstances the
Italians will be found much more pacific
and less irritable than the common bees.
They are less liable to be destroyed by
moths than the common bees. In fact, if
your bees are Italians and the colonies are
strong and in good condition, you need
have no fears of this pest, which until
recently was undoubtedly the most common
and formidable enemy 10 bee culture in
this country. If moths once get into hive
of black bees, it is but question of time
when it will succumb to their ravages, but
Italians, with reselute determination, will
make an aggressive war upon them, cut
out their webs and carry the moths them
this performance repeatedly, and if this
was the only point OF superiority that
could be claimed for italian bees, it is
sufficient TO give them position of promi-
nenca among the bee-keepers of the South,
where moths are SO common and very de-
structive. Hybrids are cross between
common bees and Italians. They often
have the distinct marks of both races in
the same colony, while some only have
one or two brands across them. They are
good honey gatherers, but vicious, irrit-
able, and difficult to manage, and after the
first cross degenerate and soon become
worthless. At least, that is my experience
with them, though some prominent bee
men prefer them to pure stock of either
